A Big Shout-out to Our Sideline Cancer TBT Superfans!
Purple Fever Hoops is a highly competitive basketball organization that was established in 2019 as a 501(c)3 non-profit. This basketball organization serves girls and boys in the West-Central area of Pennsylvania. In 2021, they plan on becoming a member of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).
They are also teaching our young men and women about the value of community service. Through their partnership with the Griffith Family Foundation/Sideline Cancer, the teams’ members will be given the opportunity to work on community service projects with the rest of the foundation’s members.
